Dunums - I Wasn't That Thought LP

"I wasn't that thought" is a mix of songs and moments that marked a sustained period of inspiration I couldn’t seem to shake. The grief of the pandemic, the birth of my dear child Tasneem, the witnessing of the Save Sheikh Jarrah movement and the genocide in Gaza. Profound beauty, strength, and horror that brought me – of all things – songs. Palestine-centric Toddler-core anthems.

Most of the album is from the perspective and voice of Tasneem -- her wonder, earliest impressions of our world, her first hurts, her big messes, our traumas, and what life feels like when change is overwhelming. There are songs here on love -- its projections and protections, the kind of love I have for myself, the way it is our magnet towards the world we all deserve and don’t have right now.
